🌍 DEI Catch-22: Business vs Belief | Dublin Tech Summit 2025

As some global giants dismantle their DE&I programmes under financial and political pressure, others argue inclusion is more essential than ever. This unapologetically real debate brings together diversity and inclusion leaders to explore whether DE&I is still a competitive advantage, a cultural imperative, or simply a box-ticking exercise, confronting the tough questions shaping the future of work.

🔍 What You’ll Learn:

Is DE&I still a competitive advantage, or losing momentum?

Can inclusion coexist with performance pressure and meritocracy?

Are recent rollbacks economically justified or masking deeper resistance?

What does real progress look like beyond KPIs and corporate statements?

What happens when values and business logic collide?
